for more information.
Using an MP3 (Radio with CD or
Six-Disc CD Player)
MP3 CD-R or CD-RW Disc
The radio plays MP3 les that were recorded on a
CD-R or CD-RW disc. The les can be recorded
with the following xed bit rates: 32 kbps, 40 kbps,
56 kbps, 64 kbps, 80 kbps, 96 kbps, 112 kbps,
128 kbps, 160 kbps, 192 kbps, 224 kbps,
256 kbps, and 320 kbps or a variable bit rate.
Song title, artist name, and album are available
for display by the radio when recorded using
ID3 tags version 1 and 2.
Compressed Audio
The radio also plays discs that contain both
uncompressed CD audio (.CDA les) and MP3
les. By default the radio shows the MP3 label
on the left side of the screen but plays both
le formats in the order in which they were
recorded to the disc.
MP3 Format
If you burn your own MP3 disc on a personal
computer:
Make sure the MP3 les are recorded on a
CD-R or CD-RW disc.
Do not mix standard audio and MP3 les
on one disc.
The CD player is able to read and play a
maximum of 50 folders, 15 playlists, and
512 folders and les.
Create a folder structure that makes it easy
to nd songs while driving. Organize songs
by albums using one folder for each album.
Each folder or album should contain 18 songs
or less.
Avoid subfolders. The system can support up
to eight subfolders deep, however, keep the
total number of folders to a minimum in
order to reduce the complexity and confusion
in trying to locate a particular folder during
playback.
Make sure playlists have a .mp3 or .wpl
extension (other le extensions may not work).

Once all songs from that album are played, the
player moves to the next album in alphabetical
order on the CD-R and begins playing MP3 les
from that album.
To exit music navigator mode, press the pushbutton
below the Back label to return to normal MP3
playback.

to cycle through DVD, CD, or Auxiliary when
listening to the radio. The DVD/CD text label and
a message showing track or chapter number

portable audio player. If a portable audio player
is not connected, “No Aux Input Device” displays.If a disc is in both the DVD slot and the CD slot

two sources and not indicate “No Aux Input
Device”. If a front auxiliary device is connected,
the DVD/CD AUX button cycles through all
available options, such as: DVD slot, CD slot,
Front Auxiliary, and Rear Auxiliary (if available).

CD (tracks only) through the remote control.

Navigation/Radio System
Your vehicle could have a navigation radio system.
The navigation system has built-in features
intended to minimize driver distraction. Technology
alone, no matter how advanced, can never
replace your own judgment. See the Navigation
System manual for some tips to help you
reduce distractions while driving.
Rear Seat Entertainment System
Your vehicle may have a DVD Rear Seat
Entertainment (RSE) system. The RSE system
works with the vehicle’s audio system. The
DVD player is part of the front radio. The RSE
system includes a radio with a DVD player,
a video display screen, audio/video jacks,
two wireless headphones, and a remote
control. SeeRadio with CD and DVD (MP3)
on page 301for more information on the
vehicle’s audio/DVD system.
Before You Drive
The RSE is designed for rear seat passengers
only. The driver cannot safely view the video
screen while driving and should not try to do so.
In severe or extreme weather conditions the
RSE system may or may not work until the
temperature is within the operating range.
The operating range for the RSE system is
above−4°F (−20°C) or below 140°F (60°C).
If the temperature of your vehicle is outside
of this range, heat or cool the vehicle until the
temperature is within the operating range of
the RSE system.
Parental Control
The RSE system may have a Parental Control
feature, depending on which radio you have.
The Parental Control feature turns off the video
screen and Rear Seat Audio (RSA). This feature
also disables all button operations from the
remote control and all audio button operations
from the RSA. This feature can be used to gain
the attention of the rear passengers that are
using headphones.
334

Battery Replacement
To change the batteries on the headphones,
do the following:
1. Turn the screw with a coin or screw driver
to loosen the battery door located on the
left side of the headphones. Slide the
battery door open.
2. Replace the two batteries in the compartment.
Make sure that they are installed correctly,
using the diagram on the inside of the
battery compartment.
3. Replace the battery door and tighten the
door screw.
If the headphones are to be stored for a long
period of time, remove the batteries and keep
them in a cool, dry place.
Audio/Video (A/V) Jacks
The A/V jacks, located on the rear of the oor
console, allow audio or video signals to be
connected from an auxiliary device such as a
camcorder or a video game unit to the RSE system.
Adapter connectors or cables may be required to
connect the auxiliary device to the A/V jacks. Refer
to the manufacturer’s instructions for proper usage.
The A/V jacks are color coded to match typical
home entertainment system equipment. The yellow
jack (A) is for the video input. The white jack (B)
is for the left audio input. The red jack (C) is for
the right audio input.
Power for auxiliary devices is not supplied by
the radio system.
